Plateau iris syndrome (post-iridectomy) (postprocedural)

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A condition where the iris bulges forward after eye surgery, creating a plateau-like appearance and potentially narrowing the drainage angle.

Coding Tips

  • •This code includes the postprocedural specification, so it should only be used for post-iridectomy cases
  • •Plateau iris syndrome increases glaucoma risk; ensure associated glaucoma codes are reviewed and documented
